Attempts to Use Antiphase Serums in Order to Improve the Bacteriological Dianosis of Brucellosis in Humans

Abstract

The addition of the Brucellosis antiphage serum to the nutrative mediums significantly improves the bacteriological diagnosis of Brucellosis in humans because: it increases the number of isolations possible (1.7 times); it is possible to obtain a hemo-culture of Brucellosis much later in the period of illness; and it accelerates the growth of the first generation of Brucellosis, as in liquid mediums, so in solid. The work leads to the recommendation of the wide application of an antiphage serum for the improvement of the bacteriological diagnosis of human Brucellosis.
